2 weeks ago Thanks for the comment, I'll leave this open till I can see if there's any way of fixing at least some of the issues. To be honest I'm impressed that it can even be made to work on Windows...
The problem looked to be a combination of Windows and radioflux-ds9.py reading in file/region arguments using sys.stdin.readline. I updated my radioflux-ds9.py, to accept these as positional arguments, and also updated the associated launch commands in my radio-flux.ds9. The invocation then worked. [There are also a couple of Linux commands in the install script ("sed" and "chmod"), the equivalent of which had to be done manually.]
The updated lines in radioflux-ds9.py are:
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='ds9 plugin to measure fluxes from FITS files.') parser.add_argument('-s','--subtract', dest='bgsub', action='store_const', const=1,default=0,help='Subtract background') parser.add_argument(dest='fname') parser.add_argument(dest='f_reg') parser.add_argument(dest='b_reg') args = parser.parse_args()
filename=args.fname.rstrip() filename=re.sub(r'[.*]','',filename) f_region=args.f_reg.rstrip() b_region=args.b_reg.rstrip()
My radio-flux.ds9 file is now:
Radio flux measurement menu python "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/Shared/Python39_64/Lib/site-packages/radioflux/radioflux-ds9.py" "$filename" "$regions(source,ds9,image)" "$regions(background,ds9,image)" | $text Radio flux measurement (background subtraction) menu python "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/Shared/Python39_64/Lib/site-packages/radioflux/radioflux-ds9.py" -s "$filename" "$regions(source,ds9,image)" "$regions(background,ds9,image)" | $text
